Site Slowdown?

I wonder if Keith is off om a ski trip? It just took 42.7 seconds to load a page!

And still.

Yes Pete the last 2 days the site has lost some performance. Maybe a compression check is required.

Seems to be back to normal now

For whatever it's worth, I'm finding the site slower than ever right now...

Thank you guys! Your observation on not being able to post more than one line was a huge clue. I was easily able to duplicate that scenario which pointed me in the right direction.

At first I figured someone had used SQL Injection to somehow restrict the character limits on the message field.

However, upon further investigation (and Lewy's comment) I determined it might be a data storage issue. I deleted some old tables that I was no longer using and also requested additional storage capacity be added to the SQL server. Looks like we're all fixed now.

Please let me know if you have any additional problems.

I will be deleting this post later today if I don't hear of any further issues.

Thank you for your patience,
-Keith

Was finally able to post in engine repair section by starting with a two line post. Then edited numerous times adding a line each time. Keith hope it helps with diagnosing problem.

I did get a message back basically saying to make room in the database.

Testing 1234 . . . I wonder if it is just this topic section that works. Never mind, seems to be random!

Getting the same error as Alan when trying to Post reply.

**Edit it let me post here but not in the engine repair section

Nope I just posted that reply and it went through as usual

Thank you. I got that error as well this morning. Are you getting it now?

I realized over the last two days with no activity on the site that I have nothing to do at work.

Thanks for all you do Keith,you have us all addicted. See you in a few-

Keith does this in his spare time. It's a hobby, not a job. He has a job and a family that come first. I don't think anyone has any room to complain at all, nor am I sure that any of us guests in Keith's home are in any position to tell him what he "needs" to do.

Keith,
Sorry but I need to say this. I feel you need an IT guy to take over. For years, the members have told you they will support the cost. I feel this is still true.
